As he admitted addressing Iran-Israel issues with Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir at the White House, US President Donald Trump claimed that Pakistan “knows Iran better than we do.”
After the high-level meeting, Trump spoke to media and emphasized Pakistan’s strategic significance in the region, especially in relation to Tehran. We discussed the Israel-Iran conflict. Pakistan is an important player in maintaining regional stability and knows Iran better than we do,” he said.
Following the infrequent one-on-one discussion in the Cabinet Room, Trump threw a luncheon in the Army Chief’s honor. The luncheon was organized to recognize General Munir’s contributions to regional stability and to honor Pakistan’s, according to a White House official.
